Description
DX900+ Multilog Smart™ Electromagnetic Speed Sensor Thru‑Hull NMEA 0183
Say goodbye to the paddlewheel and hello to Smart® Sensor technology. The DX900+ uses electromagnetic technology to accurately measure dual-axis speed through water plus immediately calculate leeway travel. Paddlewheels need cleaning and only measure speed longitudinally. The DX900+ measures water flow at 360° and will immediately deliver the leeway data to your instrument. There are no moving parts to clean or maintain. Performance sailors, racers, or long-distance cruisers will immediately see the benefits of the accuracy and reliability of the DX900+.
The DX900+ is available as a Speed and Water-temperature sensor.
Features:
- Electromagnetic dual-axis speed, and water temperature with no moving parts
- Measures transverse and longitudinal speed that instantaneously calculates leeway angle and speed through water with no latency
- Connects and shares data wirelessly with AIRMAR’s CAST™ app. Perfect for displaying performance data on phones or tablets, plus makes calibration fast and easy.
- Outputs heel and trim
- The sensing pins in contact with the water are made from very high-quality alloy, allowing very stable measurements and high resistance to corrosion. (Do not use any bottom paint on exposed sensing pins.)
- Thru-hull, low-profile housing with water valve
- Retractable insert for safe storage
- Available in a plastic (P717V) or stainless steel (SS617V) housing
- Retrofits to existing P617V housing
